RE: (ukha_d) Web info in csv or txt format

[peter.white@xxxxxxx]

They only seem to do xml output?  I should also have mentioned that if
the
data's free that would be even better!  I can get to the text-only
version of
the BBC website (which would have all the info I need), but I need to parse
out
all the html junk - the software I'm using is supposed to do it, but it
doesn't...
